Taylor 428 Shake Freezer
The Taylor 428 is a single-flavor shake freezer built for operators who need higher output without compromising quality or consistency. Designed for ice cream shops, quick-serve restaurants, and campus dining locations, it delivers smooth, perfectly blended shakes all day with minimal prep and cleanup.
Traditional shake prep—scooping, mixing, and blending—takes time and often leads to variation. The 428 simplifies that process, allowing operators to batch mix in advance and serve with speed and confidence. A built-in standby feature preserves product quality during slower periods or overnight, ensuring the mix stays food-safe and ready to go for your next service window. With dependable performance, fast recovery times, and consistent texture in every pour, the 428 keeps your shake program running efficiently from open to close.
For operators looking to expand their shake lineup, the 428 pairs seamlessly with the FlavorBurst Premium Blended Beverage system, offering up to eight flavor combinations that add variety and visual appeal without adding labor.
